My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 964: The End of Qi Wangjian! This is all for the advice of the beloved ministers!

Listening to Ying Chengjiao's account of the battle results, even though Mao Sui participated in the battle throughout, he still felt a chill in his heart.

For this battle, the three kingdoms of Dai, Yan and Qi almost took out their life savings and put their entire national strength into it!

Although there were slight rifts between Yan State and Dai and Qi State, those small conflicts were almost negligible compared to the conflicts among the previous multinational coalitions.

However, even with such unprecedented unity and unprecedented strength, the result was that more than 300,000 soldiers were buried on the battlefield, the core area of ​​Dai was completely destroyed, and Qi surrendered!
The allied forces were badly damaged, and it was almost impossible for Dai and Yan to form an alliance again. From then on, they would become isolated and powerless. Moreover, the Qin State swallowed up the corpse of the former Qi State and achieved further development!

It’s a pity that people’s sorrows and joys are not the same.

Li Si was delighted and exclaimed: "This time, the four countries sent nearly two million troops. This is an unprecedented war!"

"I have never doubted that Chang'an Jun can win this battle for our Great Qin, but I think Chang'an Jun must at least cut off 500,000 or 600,000 enemy heads in this battle. This is in line with Chang'an Jun's character."

"I never thought that Chang'an Jun only killed more than 300,000 enemy heads, but captured and persuaded more than 200,000 enemies, allowing hundreds of thousands of young and strong men to be used by our Great Qin."

"As Chang'an grows older, his character becomes better and better, and he understands the overall situation better. He knows the importance of young people to the country. In addition to defeating the enemy, he also thinks about governance. This is really a blessing for our Great Qin!"

Mao Sui couldn't help but look at Li Si in shock.

More than 300,000 young and strong men died on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of the elderly, the weak, women and children died because of the earth dragon's rise!

How can you say that a person who has taken the lives of at least 600,000 people in less than half a year is kind?
But thinking back on the bloodshed caused by Ying Chengjiao in previous battles, Mao Sui had to admit that Ying Chengjiao had indeed restrained his murderous nature significantly in this battle.

Wei Liao also nodded and praised: "When Chang'an Jun's troops were approaching Jicheng, even though Chang'an Jun advised the court to negotiate peace with Dai and Yan, I believed that Chang'an Jun would definitely capture Jicheng, and I was even thinking about my Great Qin's strategy based on this."

"I never thought that Lord Chang'an would suppress his desire to attack and wait for the three kingdoms to reach a peace agreement and for the court to issue an order until he could withdraw his troops and return to the court safely."

"Changan Jun has really grown up!"

On the top of the Xianyang city wall, all the ministers of the Qin Dynasty could not help but speak up.

Their laughter sounded extremely harsh to Mao Sui's ears, but sounded extremely soothing to Ying Zheng's ears.

Ying Zheng had even lost control of the corners of his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile and clearly expressing his attitude.

I have already taken control of the government. My brother has returned from conquering a country. What's wrong with praising him a little more? What's wrong with me being overjoyed?
boast!
They all praised me highly!

After listening a few more times, Ying Zheng, who didn't want to burden Ying Chengjiao, finally shouted with a smile on his face: "I am very pleased!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Offer prisoners! Offer food!"

Ying Chengjiao turned to face the army and shouted in unison with Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe and other generals:
"Pass the king's order!"

"Present prisoners!"

"Offering!"

At a command, hundreds of carts passed through the gaps in the military formation from the rear army to the front army.

The car body tilted over, and the enemy's left ears were thrown to the ground and piled up into a mountain!
Every triumphant soldier couldn't help but straighten his back.

This is the ladder for them to be granted titles of nobility and become generals!
Behind the cart, another five-horse carriage, surrounded by hundreds of prison carts, left the battle formation and finally stopped three feet behind Ying Chengjiao.

King Qi Jian knew that he should reach out and lift the curtain, but his trembling hands simply refused to obey.

"Ah~"

Hou Sheng sighed softly, helped Qi Wang Jian lift the carriage curtain, looked at Qi Wang Jian with complicated eyes and sighed: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place!"

Qi Wangjian's tears flowed down his face, and he cried out in a sad voice: "Uncle!!!"

I regret it!

But it's too late to regret!
Seeing Qi Wangjian's tears, Hou Sheng was heartbroken, but he could do nothing but whisper, "Please keep this attitude, Your Majesty."

"Temporary bullying is nothing to be afraid of. When Goujian tasted feces, everyone praised him."

"I will also behave contemptuously towards the king in order to gain the trust of the king of Qin. Please be patient and wait for me to help you!"

King Jian of Qi nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

"Uncle must help me!"

Hou Sheng said nothing more, but just grabbed Qi Wangjian's arm and pulled the naked Qi Wangjian out of the five-horse carriage!
"Oh!"

"Ah yo!"

The fair and plump body of King Jian of Qi collided violently with the ground, raising a cloud of dust from the rammed earth.

"Hahahaha~"

"Is this man the King of Qi? How can he be so disheveled, bare-chested, and so ugly? He doesn't even have the manners of a king at all!"

"The King of Qi actually set foot in our Great Qin in such a manner, his name will surely go down in history!"

"There are so many kings from other countries who have entered our Xianyang City, but there is really only one king like the King of Qi!"

King Jian of Qi never expected that Hou Sheng would actually pull him out of the carriage, so that he was completely unprepared when he fell to the ground.

When King Qi Jian struggled to get up from the cold ground, what he saw was endless mocking looks, and what he heard was undisguised laughter. The sarcasm, contempt and disdain contained in them went straight to the top of King Qi Jian's head!
King Jian of Qi took two steps back in panic and subconsciously looked around, hoping to see the ministers and guards who were accompanying him as in the past. He did see figures wearing Qi's court robes and military uniforms.

But those people wearing Qi military uniforms all cast glances at him that contained hatred, anger, disappointment and other negative emotions, while those people wearing Qi court robes all sat in the prison car, not even looking at King Jian of Qi, but only casting flattering glances at Ying Chengjiao.

King Jian of Qi quickly retracted his gaze as if he had been electrocuted, and cast his last hopeful gaze towards the carriage, and saw Hou Sheng leap out of the carriage with a small jump, first bowed respectfully to Ying Chengjiao, and then turned to Ying Zheng and shouted loudly:

"The guilty king, Tian Jian, has betrayed the benevolence of the Qin State and the alliance between Qin and Qi. He has ignored the generous support of the Qin State to Qi and colluded with the Dai and Yan States to invade the Qin territory." "This is a treacherous, shameless, and unwise act. He is ashamed of the people and the heavens. He is unfit to be a king!"

"Today, I will expose my flesh and hold the jade in my hand!"

"Let Daqin deal with it!"

Although Hou Sheng had already told him his plan, when King Jian of Qi actually heard Hou Sheng say this to him in front of hundreds of thousands of people, he still felt a chill in his heart.

But what can he do?
He could only silently pick up the jade disk, put it into his mouth, and pretend to be a dead man!
Ying Zheng looked down at King Jian of Qi with indifference in his eyes.

When King An of Han and King Fu Chu of Chu entered the city from here, Ying Zheng was quite excited.

But now? I've seen it so many times that I'm used to it.

Instead, Ying Zheng paid more attention to Hou Sheng and the former Qi officials who were trapped in the prison car.

Ying Zheng asked calmly, "The King of Qi is naked and holding a jade disk in his mouth, but none of the officials are in mourning?"

Hou Sheng bowed his hands loudly and said in a deep voice: "Although I am a minister of Qi, I know better what is morality, what is righteousness, and what is trust!"

"When the King of Qi wanted to rebel against Qin, I repeatedly advised him not to do this, but he insisted on doing it! At that time, I had already wanted to retire, but I felt that I had not repaid the kindness of the previous king, so I did not leave."

"Many years ago, I, a sinner, had advised the King of Qi to become a minister of Qin and serve him, but the King of Qi refused to accept my good advice!"

Hou Sheng looked at King Jian of Qi with hatred and dissatisfaction in his eyes and said, "If King Qi had not been stubborn, tyrannical, warlike and disloyal, we would have long been subjects of the Qin State, and the people of Qi would have long been subjects of the Qin State."

"Why did the men of Qi suffer so much from war and the destruction of their families? Even today, there are still hundreds of thousands of men of Qi being held hostage by other countries and can only look east and cry!"

"How can such a king be worthy of me to wear mourning clothes for him?"

Hou Sheng’s words were quite explosive!

But the ministers of Qi rushed to agree, saying, "I tried hard to persuade the King of Qi not to form an alliance with Dai and Yan, but was angrily rebuked by him. I should have made up my mind to leave Qi early. It's a pity that I was trapped by morality and ended up like this!"

"The reason why Qi is in this situation today is all because of this king! I have long wanted to return to Qin, but I didn't leave because I wanted to persuade this king to return to Qin with me. However, I never thought that not only did this king not leave, but he even dared to betray Qin. How shameless!"

"Brother Sheng said exactly what I think! This king is not worthy of my coffin!"

The sharpest blades often come from those closest to us.

The court officials who had been in the same court with King Qi Jian all day long now treated him like an enemy, turning their tongues into sharp swords and doing everything they could to slander him with words.

King Jian of Qi held the jade in his mouth and could not refute it. He did not know how to refute it. He could only stand alone in the spring breeze, enduring the biting cold, and silently said in his heart: This is all the strategy of my beloved ministers! This is all the strategy!

"You all accused our father of being immoral, unfaithful and unrighteous, but can you be called loyal subjects?"

Suddenly, a voice of anger reached the ears of King Jian of Qi. King Jian of Qi saw Tian Zhen pointing at Hou Sheng and other ministers, angrily scolding: "You controlled the government and sidelined my father, making everyone in Qi follow your lead. Now that Qi is gone, you are putting all the blame on my father?"

"You have encroached upon the countryside, oppressed the common people, been greedy and aggressive, and now the people are in turmoil, yet you say that it is because your father is immoral that the common people are suffering?"

"You urged your father to send troops to attack Qin. Now that Qi is defeated, you say that sending troops to attack Qin was just your father's idea?"

"Qi was destroyed not only by my father, but also by the nobles of Qi!"

Hou Sheng suddenly looked at Tian Zhen and shouted angrily: "You..."

However, just as Hou Sheng opened his mouth, he saw Ying Chengjiao standing in front of Tian Zhen, looking down at all the former Qi officials with a cold and murderous look.

Ying Chengjiao didn't say a word, but he seemed to have said everything.

Hou Sheng swallowed back the rest of his words with difficulty, and immediately changed his words: "What you said does make some sense."

"The guilty minister also made mistakes."

Qi Wangjian finally couldn't control his emotions anymore. He looked at Tian Zhen with tears in his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "Wuwuwu~~~"

Tian Zhen cried out in pain, "Father!"

Ying Chengjiao said gently, "Calm down."

"Believe in the King!"

Tian Zhen nodded vigorously, and then, like other former Qi court officials, turned his gaze towards Ying Zheng, awaiting judgment.

On the east city gate tower, Ying Zheng listened to the words of Hou Sheng, Tian Zhen and others with an expressionless face.

Ying Zheng saw clearly that the words and deeds of Hou Sheng and other former Qi officials were all aimed at weakening the threat posed by King Jian of Qi in Ying Zheng's mind, and at the same time cutting ties with the King of Qi so that they could choose an opportunity to serve in Qin in the future.

But, does this matter?

When King Jian of Qi betrayed the Qin Dynasty, his fate was doomed.

Ying Zheng needs to let everyone in the world understand how heavy the price of betraying the Qin Dynasty is!

Ying Zheng spoke indifferently: "Pass on my order!"

"Burn the coffin of the King of Qi, make Tian Jian a commoner of the Qin State, and move Tian Jian to Gong, and order Tian Jian not to leave Gong without permission!"

"So all the officials and nobles of Qi were demoted to common people. If there were talented scholars, they could apply for the examinations for the imperial examinations."

"Tear down Wu Palace and transport it back to Xianyang to be used as construction materials."

Upon hearing what Ying Zheng said, King Jian of Qi, who was already tired from the long journey, hungry, cold, and exhausted, suddenly widened his eyes, and then his vision went dark, and he lay on his back and fainted!
